Likewise, they can buy DVRs to record shows and skip commercials. The legality of this is unquestioned.

The only difference with Aereo is they gather and make availible from markets outside aerial range and stream it over the internet for a price. The same is also done for free and legally with international stations. The only “illegal” online content is domestic-exclusive cable/dish programs (which Aereo doesn’t touch), but they can easily and legally be obtained from international servers.

Regardless how the courts and liers/lawyers squabble, Aereo has no financial future as everything they do is availible for free. Likewise, pay programming has no financial future as consumers switch to free online instead of subscription.
